Question

Can I enable individual items in a secured pdf to be copyable?

Hi,

 

I have a secured tutorial PDF, which includes Python code snippets. These code snippets have editable code lines that the user must copy and use. Could I enable copy only for these code snippets by maintaining security for the tutorial PDF?

    Place the code in a text field. They will be able to copy it from there, even if Content Extraction is not allowed, as long as filling in form fields is. Maybe use a script to reject edits to the field, or just make it read-only, so they can't change it in the actual file.
